The Indonesian Government obligates foreign travelers who return to Indonesia to be quarantined. To monitor the quarantine, on January 6, 2022, the Indonesian National Police (Polri) launched the Precision Quarantine Monitoring application at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Cengkareng, Tangerang, Banten.  Head of the Public Relations Division of the National Police, Inspector General Dedi Prasetyo said that the launch of the application is a follow-up to the Police on the instructions of President Joko Widodo, who asked that there should be no dispensation to undergo quarantine for Indonesian citizens who had just arrived from abroad. This application is also a part of the commitment of the government and the National Police to mitigate the spread of the Omicron variant in Indonesia.

Through the Precision Quarantine Monitoring application, officers can obtain information on the profile of quarantined people, including the quarantine period, origin of arrival, PCR test results and all data sourced from the Ministry of Health. In addition, officers will receive notification messages, if there are quarantined participants who are 200 meters outside the quarantine radius. Those people who can access the application are the quarantined, authorized officers, command centers and leaders.

To use the Precision Quarantine Monitoring application, the quarantined people may log into the application with a registered mobile number and scan the QR Code when arriving at the quarantine location. Then, the application will bring up the quarantine countdown time. When the application is active, the coordinates of the quarantined people will periodically be stored in the Police dashboard. Therefore, if the quarantined people are at a distance of 200 meters outside the quarantine location, the officers and the command center will receive a notification. If the quarantine period ends, the quarantined people can check out.
